General description
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) is required for cell viability and mRNA turnover in Escherichia coli.
Application
Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNP) has been used in a study to show that spontaneous mutations resulting from replication errors are reduced in a PNP-deficient strain. It has also been used in a study to show that the absence of PNPase makes E. coli cells sensitive to UV, which suggests PNP has a role in survival of UV damage.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Polynucleotide phosphorylase from Escherichia coli functions as a exonuclease as well as a poly(A) polymerase and can add C and U nucleotides to poly(A) tails.
Unit Definition
One unit will polymerize 1.0 μmole of ADP releasing 1.0 μmole of inorganic phosphate in 15 minutes, at pH 9.1 at 37 °C.
Physical form
Supplied as a solution in 20 mM Hepes buffer pH 7.9, 0.1 mM EDTA, 2 mM DTT, 12.5 mM MgCl2, 200 mM KCl, 21.4% (w/v) Glycerol

In vitro, polynucleotide phosphorylase of Escherichia coli can both synthesize RNA by using nucleotide diphosphates as precursors and exonucleolytically degrade RNA in the presence of inorganic phosphate. However, because of the high in vivo concentration of inorganic phosphate in exponentially

A simple procedure for purifying polynucleotide phosphorylase from Escherichia coli cells by means of affinity chromatography on an RNA-Sepharose column is described. The purified enzyme preparation has a specific activity 3500-fold that of the crude extract and is essentially homogeneous

mRNA instability is an intrinsic property that permits timely changes in gene expression by limiting the lifetime of a transcript. The RNase e of Escherichia coli is a single-strand-specific endo-nuclease involved in the processing of rRNA and the degradation of
